From April 11, 1865:
New York-- Streets full of people celebrating.
Chicago-- Stores, courts and public offices nearly all closed. Business entirely suspended.
Cincinnati-- 200 guns fired at noon today, April 10th.
Washington, D.C. Departments all closed on April 10th. "Secretary Stanton expresses the opinion that there will be no more heavy fighting."
Indianapolis-- 200 gun salute
Detroit-- At 3 o'clock thousands assembled and sang "The Star Spangled Banner" and other patriotic airs. The city is most brilliantly illuminated.
--Old Secesh
